Does the printer print on both sides automatically or will I need to reinsert the pages into the feeder?

Yes it does automatically print on both sides (auto duplex). I've used this printer in my law firm for a few months and have not only been extremely pleased, but impressed.

No, it does not. It seems to support some manual duplex option (i.e., it'll print one side, then you put the pages in the other way, and it'll print the other side). But you can ALWAYS do that through software options, and it doesn't have any auto-duplexing in the hardware side, like more expensive or more feature-competitive printers would.

No - you have to remove the tray and insert paper upside down.Otherwise it's an excellent printer.Thanks.

Yes it prints on both sides of the paper and it does it at the same speed as a one sided print. When I bought this printer I wasn't looking for that feature. I printed a configuration page and under machine setting it says duplex installed. I haven't toyed around with it enough to turn that feature on or off but most programs will have that feature in the print option category.

I only had mine printed on one side but my understanding is you can have printing on both sides whether the same info on both or different info on each. Hope this helps.

No. It says it is, but it doesn't print on both sides of the paper automatically.

If you're willing to use a manual technique and you use Windows (not a Mac) then the driver supports two-sided printing with a manual step. It's super easy. Just tell the print driver you want it double sided, print it, then grab the stack of paper printed, drop it into the new paper tray the same way you removed it from the top of the printer, and hit the continue button on the printer. Works perfectly. All pages are in the correct sequence and orientation.

It prints two-sided automatically once two-sided printing selected under printer properties.

You don't change the tray settings on the computer. If you want to use the manual feed tray in the back of the printer you just insert paper until it registers. The little screen on the front of the printer will tell you if it's in there right. If there's paper in the manual feed and the printer knows it, that's where it will print from. If there's no paper in the manual feed it will automatically default to the front tray. Paper must be inserted in the manual feed tray before hitting print on your computer. I'm not a fan of the way this works!

No, this printer defaults to the original tray. If that is empty, then it will draw from this tray automatically. That said, when you print, you can always specify which tray the printer will use. I would check out the printer settings to see if you can change the default, or just put the old paper in the original tray.

I don't know what you mean by auto feed feature. The paper is put in at the top of the machine and it is mechanically pulled in for printing. Standard feature on all printers of this type as far as I know.

Absolutely. Every time you print there is a check box that asks "2 sided printing on/off?" Its part of the standard print dialogue screen for all computer printers, across platforms, not just this one. Since the 1980's if I'm not mistaken. For further research Google "Guggenheim Press" and look up the definition for the word "BOOK." When you're ready, got to any still-standing large socialist book rental agency, called "public library" they might have more info on this "2 sided printing" dilemma as well!

Yes...no need to remove printed pages and reinsert them into printer to print other side.

Yes, but not automatically. You'll have to turn the paper over and then print the other side. There are on-screen guides to tell you when to do this.

It does not do Automatic duplexing. You would need to print out the front pages, then flip the paper manually over to print on the back. If you select double sided printing with the HP software installed, the printer will assist with this process.

I wasn't sure so I just tested it. If you mean can you put a double sided document on the feeder and request a 2 sided copy to be made without having to flip the paper - the answer is yes it does. Just set the paper in the feeder, turn 2 sided copying on and press start.
